| Feadship | 72M | "Utopia" | 2004/13 |

Feadship's Utopia was docked at Bahia Mar recently and thought you might enjoy a few close up pictures. In speaking with reps from Feadship at the Ft. Lauderdale show, she is essentially based on the design of Wedge Two, a previous Feadship launch.

A 235 feet, Utopia is one of the largest Feadships built to date. She was the second yacht and the larger of a two-boat order for a repeat client. Unfortunately, the owner passed away before Utopia was completed and Feadship finished her as a spec yacht. Arguably the most complex Feadship ever built, the engineroom, with separate control and generator rooms, takes up TWO decks!

The helicopter pad has a unique securing hook, originally developed for military applications, that secures a helicopter to the deck within seconds of landing. Utopia has five guest staterooms, three on the main deck and two on the lower deck. The owner’s suite occupies the entire middle deck.

She takes up a good portion of the north end of Bahia Mar's docks. This bow picture shows the unmistakeable resemblence to Wedge 2.

A rear quarter picture. It's hard to fit this yacht into the lense of a camera when you are close-up. She's as tall as the mast on many sailboats!

The observation stansions just off the pilothouse cleanly protrude out from the lines of the yacht, without looking like bug-eyes.

Idling by her in the afternoon sun, you get a glimpse down the lines of the hull, which are flawlessly smooth.

She has a very narrow beam, but is mechanically well stabilized, making her efficient into a heading sea...

Finally! Some interior pics. Thank you!

That's true, Ecstasea is the largest. I didn't spell check before uploading. Too many things going on around here. I had originally meant to say "one of the largest", but left out "one of". Sorry!

Between writing code, writing stories, marketing the site and all the other things that go on behind the scene, I appreciate you double checking my accuracy.

Thanks!
